It's a tinned-copper, blue nylon quick-disconnect that snaps onto its mating male plug and pulls apart by hand when you need to service a circuit. Marine-grade build for trailer wiring, nav lights, pumps, and accessory runs where you want a serviceable connection that won't corrode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ancor 230719 is the female half of a snap plug connector, built for 16-14 AWG wire and sold in a pack of four. If you've ever wanted a clean, hand-separable disconnect in a wiring run, this is the piece that makes it happen. Snap plugs give you a positive, click-together connection you can pull apart by hand when you need to drop a fixture, swap an accessory, or winterize a circuit. No tools at the disconnect, no cutting and re-splicing every season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's how the system works. A snap plug is a two-piece connector. The male half is a bullet plug, and this female half is the matching receptacle. You crimp the female onto one wire, crimp a male onto the other, and the two snap together into a locking joint that resists vibration but still separates when you want it to. It's a step up from a plain butt splice because you can actually take the connection apart, and it's cleaner than a screw terminal sitting out in the weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blue insulation isn't just color. On marine and automotive connectors, blue is the standard code for the 16-14 AWG wire range, so a quick glance tells you you've grabbed the right size. The barrel underneath is tinned copper. That tin plating is what earns the marine-grade label. Bare copper corrodes fast in salt air and splashes green, which drives up resistance and eventually kills the connection. Tinned copper shrugs that off, giving you low electrical resistance and real corrosion protection in the exact environment where cheaper connectors let go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nylon insulation is the other half of the durability story. Nylon is tougher than vinyl, it won't split when you crimp it, and it holds up to abrasion, oil, and the odd knock around a rigging locker. The barrel is built with a funnel entry and a double crimp, so the stripped wire feeds in easily and the finished crimp grips the conductor tightly with the least effort. That matters when you're making up a dozen connections in a cramped bilge or on your knees at the back of a trailer. Use a crimper sized for insulated terminals, then give the wire a firm tug afterward. A good crimp holds the conductor against a solid pull without sliding back out of the barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere do these go? Trailer wiring is the classic spot. A snap plug lets you disconnect lights and brakes without hacking at the harness every time you drop the boat in. On the boat itself, they're handy anywhere you want a serviceable break in a low-current circuit: nav light wiring, a livewell pump, a stereo accessory run, courtesy lighting under the gunwale. Anywhere you'd rather unsnap a connector than unscrew a terminal or cut a splice. They're meant for 16-14 gauge wire, which covers a lot of accessory and lighting loads, not heavy battery cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of honest notes. This pack is the female snap plugs only, four of them. The male snap plugs that mate with them are sold separately, so if you're building a fresh disconnect from scratch you'll want both halves on hand. And while the nylon insulation and tinned barrel are built for the marine environment, a plain crimp like this isn't a sealed, submersible connection on its own. If a joint is going to sit underwater or in a constantly wet spot, slide adhesive-lined heat shrink over the finished crimp for a watertight seal. For the vast majority of accessory and trailer wiring up off the deck, a clean crimp with these is exactly the right call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour to a pack, genuine Ancor quality, and the same connector the pros reach for when they want a disconnect that'll still work three seasons from now. Crimp it once, snap it together, and forget about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale snap plug receptacle for 16-14 AWG wire, the mating half of Ancor's two-piece snap connector system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTinned copper barrel resists corrosion in salt air for low electrical resistance and a long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlue nylon insulation follows the 16-14 AWG color code and won't split when crimped\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFunnel-entry barrel with a double crimp grips the wire tightly with the least effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSnaps together into a locking joint that resists vibration but separates by hand for service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon insulation stands up to abrasion, oil, and moisture better than vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine-grade build for trailer wiring, nav lights, pumps, and accessory circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePack of four female snap plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Ancor reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size wire does the Ancor 230719 fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's built for 16-14 AWG wire.
